The Pentagon won’t buy more Mi-17 helicopters from Rosoboronexport, Russia’s state-owned export company, after completing a $572 million contract signed in June.
There are not plans to purchase additional Mi-17s from Rosoboronexport beyond the 86 already purchased for the Afghanistan military.
The decision means that the Defense Department won’t continue to seek $345 million that it had requested to buy 15 more of the helicopters.
